At the time of mine, the office only did them on Fridays. Which was great, as I got a long weekend out of it. Something to keep in mind so you don’t get freaked out: Your first load or two may have a little blood from within the pipes. No big deal. 30 Norris??? Holy shit!
Yeah they gave me a heads up about that, among many other things. Honestly the worst part sounds like having to wear tighty-whities for a week.
That was my initial thought, too. However, Robot Bar in Tokyo was all I needed to know to not dive deeper into Japanese culture.
I shelled out for the best vasectomy available in Vancouver. No-scalpel, keyhole surgery, the 9 yards. Surgery went off splendidly, was told to stay away from strenuous exercise for a couple of weeks, no heavy lifting, and to basically chill on the couch for 3 - 4 day first. It was really more "very uncomfortable" than "painful". I decided to do a 2 hour walk after about 4 days because I felt pretty good! No problems! I also had to fly home 6 days after the surgery because I was in Vancouver on business. I thought I had booked premium economy. I did not. As soon as we were up at 30,000 feet about an hour after takeoff, my nuts had swollen up and it was painful and very uncomfortable. I had to explain to the cabin steward why I wanted a bag full of ice, and spent the rest of the flight in a 30 minutes on/30 minutes off situation in a narrow seat for the remaining 9 hours. It increased the recovery time by 3 weeks. It hurt, a lot. Now I shoot blanks, and it's great. 10/10 would snip again. 1/10, give it the full two-fer. Props to the cabin crew.
It weirds me out that most info on vasectomies comes from mommy blogs. The worst part was the follow up. You jerk off in a cup and have to get it looked at by a doctor to see if you are sterile. This is the way that process went. 1. I had to call the office and ask if anyone was available to look at the sample that day. (Ask for permission to jack off) 2. I had to tell work I had an impromptu doctors appointment. 3. I jerked off into a cup. Then set it on the seat next to me and drove to a clinic. 4. I had to wait in line with a cup full of jiz and hand the cup full of jiz to the receptionist. Other things you may not know about. It’s hard to go a week without sexual activity when you are used to getting some daily. Random boners hurt for about a week. And didn’t feel good for a month. I got it at the insistence of my wife. I took several fights to get there. I still don’t feel good about having my bodily autonomy taken away. All that said I would do it again in a heart beat, because i rarely think about any of that any more.
Whenever I complain about Jungle Julia forgetting to take her birth control (seriously, how the fuck do you forget to take one pill a day?), she always fires back that I should get a vasectomy. I've wanted to get one since Li'l Bandit was born, but I'm not sure how Jungle Julia is going to handle it. She has a strange attitude about pregnancy: she doesn't want kids, but she wants ME to WANT kids with with her. I'm afraid that once I get it, she'll start acting weird with me and it will lead to relationship problems.
That was my first thought as well. @dixiebandit69 I dont know how you old you and JJ are, but what would be the reaction if you actually did get her pregnant?
I would try to convince her to have an abortion (unsuccessfully- she's a pro-life Catholic). She acknowledges that we CANNOT afford to have a kid, and even if we could, I don't want another. But the fact that I don't want a kid bothers her.
I'm likely the most "anti-kid" person here but I think having a kid, raising it, watching it become and adult and then having another kid would be the absolute worst.
